2012-12-01

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, December 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Everyone wants to look their best for the Christmas party season and with non-surgical treatments becoming ever more popular in our beauty regimes, there are many ways to ensure you feel at your most confident during the busiest party season in the calendar.

One month to go
A month before the festive party season is an ideal time to get a facial peel for fresh, youthful skin.

Skin can become clogged with dead skin cells, making it look dull and lifeless - especially during the winter months. Facial peels are a deep form of exfoliation to remove the dead skin and improve skin tone and texture and gently remove the outer layer of skin to reveal softer, healthier and smoother-looking skin.

Dermaroller treatment at Transform is - an innovative therapy involving tiny micro-medical needles on the skin to encourage regeneration and repair - leaves skin smoother, brighter, healthier and younger-looking and should be carried out at least four weeks ahead of parties to ensure maximum effect. This therapy can help a multitude of skin imperfections such as lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, acne scars and stretch marks. A full course of treatments is recommended for best results.

Three weeks to go
IPL laser skin rejuvenation uses Intense Pulsed Light to treat various skin conditions and generally improve skin tone and texture.

This treatment can be used on the face to minimise fine lines, wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, lift and hydrate skin and even out pigmentation. Dramatic results can often be seen within a relatively short period of time making it a perfect pre-party season treatment.

Two weeks to go
Anyone who would like a quick and effective treatment to refresh the skin and ensure it is glowing and fresh for the office Christmas party would benefit from a one-off microdermabrasion treatment.

Using a unique diamond chip wand, the practitioner applies tiny rough grains to polish the surface layer of the skin. The exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells to improve the skin's texture and reveal a healthy, glowing complexion and the treatment itself takes about 45 minutes

Lines and wrinkles on the face are a party season 'no no' and can be easily treated.

One of the most popular pre-party season treatments for women to have at Transform are Botox injections, which can helps to soften from lines and crow's feet.

The treatment usually only takes 25 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

Botox is also commonly used around this time of year to treat excessive sweating - ensuring there are no unsightly sweat marks on your favourite party dress. The treatment known as Hyperhidrosis is extremely effective and can last up to 4 months.

A week to go
To ensure your Christmas photo is as dazzling as possible, you need a gleaming white smile. Brightening up your teeth can be done a week before the Christmas party season as there is no recovery time needed and the results will still be striking and effective - perfect for the many cheesy Christmas photographs!

The Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine combined creative art therapy with a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program for women with breast cancer and showed changes in brain activity associated with lower stress and anxiety after the eight-week program. Their new study appears in the December issue of the journal Stress and Health. Daniel Monti, MD, director of the Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine ...

As cigarette taxes go up, heavy smoking goes down

2012-11-30

Audio available at: https://news.wustl.edu/news/Pages/24616.aspx When cigarette taxes rise, hard-core smokers are more likely than lighter smokers to cut back, according to new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "Most clinicians and researchers thought these very heavy smokers would be the most resistant to price increases," says first author Patricia A. Cavazos-Rehg, PhD. "Many believed this group was destined to continue smoking heavily forever, but our study points out that, in fact, change can occur. And that's very good news." States ...

Clinical trial delivers good results in leukemia patients

2012-11-30

SALT LAKE CITY—Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) researchers Michael Deininger, M.D., Ph.D., and Thomas O'Hare, Ph.D., were part of a team that found a potent oral drug, ponatinib, effective in patients who have developed resistance to standard treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (Ph+ ALL). The New England Journal of Medicine released results of the trial today. In the phase I clinical trial conducted at five cancer centers nationwide, ponatinib was highly active in patients with CML and Ph+ ALL ...

Prenatal intervention reduces learning deficit in mice

2012-11-30

Mice with a condition that serves as a laboratory model for Down syndrome perform better on memory and learning tasks as adults if they were treated before birth with neuroprotective peptides, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health. Down syndrome results when an individual receives an extra copy of chromosome 21. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Down syndrome occurs in 1 of every 691 births. Features of Down syndrome include delays in mental and physical development and poor muscle tone. These features may vary greatly, ...

New radio telescope could save world billions

2012-11-30

A small pocket of Western Australia's remote outback is set to become the eye on the sky and could potentially save the world billions of dollars. The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope, unveiled today, Friday 30 November, will give the world a dramatically improved view of the Sun and provide early warning to prevent damage to communication satellites, electric power grids and GPS navigation systems. The $51 million low-frequency radio telescope will be able to detect and monitor massive solar storms, such as the one that cut power to six million people ...

Intermountain Healthcare Cancer research provides possible road map for improving healthcare

2012-11-30

SALT LAKE CITY – Given the right equipment, training and skill, an individual surgeon can expect to provide the best possible care on a consistent basis. But how do you get an entire system of surgeons — each with his or her own ideas, backgrounds, and routines — to provide that same level of care? A series of studies directed by Intermountain Healthcare's Oncology Clinical Program shows that it's possible to improve care across the board if you tackle the problem in a standardized way, relying on the best evidence available. "It sounds simple, but it's really very ...

Grey-mouse lemurs serve as model for the early primates from which humans evolved

2012-11-30

New research shows first evidence of paternal voice recognition in solitary foraging species, provides insight into early primates from which humans evolved Think of the last time you screamed. Chances are you attracted someone's attention. What about the last time someone flirted with you? You were likely more selective in your response.

Even brown dwarfs may grow rocky planets

2012-11-30

Rocky planets are thought to form through the random collision and sticking together of what are initially microscopic particles in the disc of material around a star. These tiny grains, known as cosmic dust, are similar to very fine soot or sand. However, in the outer regions around a brown dwarf -- a star-like object, but one too small to shine brightly like a star -- astronomers expected that grains could not grow because the discs were too sparse, and particles would be moving too fast to stick together after colliding. Also, prevailing theories say that any grains ...

Electrically spun fabric offers dual defense against pregnancy, HIV

2012-11-30

The only way to protect against HIV and unintended pregnancy today is the condom. It's an effective technology, but not appropriate or popular in all situations. A University of Washington team has developed a versatile platform to simultaneously offer contraception and prevent HIV. Electrically spun cloth with nanometer-sized fibers can dissolve to release drugs, providing a platform for cheap, discrete and reversible protection. The research was published this week in the Public Library of Science's open-access journal PLoS One. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ...
